Mission Statement
Atlanta Legal Aid Society helps low-income people meet basic needs through free civil legal services.
About This Cause
Founded in 1924 by 17 prominent volunteers, Legal Aid now has 68 attorneys on staff and 500 volunteers in five counties. During its nine decade history, Legal Aid helped to establish the Atlanta Volunteer Lawyers Foundation, coined the term “predatory lending,” pioneered legal services for people with AIDS and cancer, established the first medical-legal collaborative serving children in the Southeast and won a landmark Supreme Court case on behalf of people with disabilities. The core of Legal Aid’s mission is to help low-income people navigate the complexities of the court system at the most vulnerable times in their lives. Legal Aid’s clients face evictions, health crises, foreclosure, domestic violence, education issues and consumer challenges that can only be solved with the help of a lawyer.
